Quick question: Duplicate resolutions

from Sins Forums

1440/900 1280/1024 1024/768

Why do I have pairs of these?  Is there a difference?  Did I mod a config some years ago?

All my refresh rates are in pairs too, remember this 'bug' since forever...never noticed it doing anything bad.

And switching between one twin to the other doesn't 'do' anything.  IE the "Apply" button doesn't register an actual change.  So it seems the 'hooks' per-say are identical.

In pairs?  Not sure what you mean!  Does this explain it:  the first number is the horizontal resolution and the next is the vertical.  IE:  1440 wide/by 900 tall.

And switching between one twin to the other doesn't 'do' anything. IE the "Apply" button doesn't register an actual change. So it seems the 'hooks' per-say are identical.

If you have your Video set to 'Window Mode', it won't change resolutions.  It was reported as a bug, and they said "No", (it allows you to change resolutions by resizing the window).  Uncheck windowed mode, and you will be able to see resolution changes.

I have each of those resolutions listed twice.  And each of those refresh rates. 60 75, and forget the third.

I have about 15 resolutions listed, just those three make up 6 of them.

And if I switch to one resolution that has a twin and Apply and accept that resolution, if I pick its duplicate the apply button doesn't light up.  Much like it's just a duplicate text reference for the same 'object'. 

As I said, it doesn't really cause any problems.  Just an oddity I was wondering if anyone else had. (Figured since it was a Steam install, it should be the same.)
